MOSCOW (AFX) – The giant Sakhalin-2 oil and gas project must comply with Russian environmental laws or face being shut down, said Natural Resources Minister Yury Trutnev.
‘If the Russian Federation’s laws are going to be violated, if damage is done to the environment, we will take measures to stop the project,’ Trutnev told reporters.
A Royal Dutch Shell PLC-led consortium holds a 55 pct stake in the project, whose permits the ministry revoked last month.
The Anglo-Dutch oil giant subsequently said it had ‘fully addressed’ environmental concerns.
Earlier, Interfax news agency quoted Deputy Industry and Energy Minister Andrei Dementyev as saying the project’s operator Sakhalin Energy has raised its estimate of the cost of the project to 21.9 bln usd from 9.9 bln.
The Industry and Energy Ministry is now in talks with Sakhalin’s investors regarding the possibility of reviewing the project’s business model, he added.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
